About Ryan: The Scholarship Navigator
Hi! I’m Ryan, founder of Scholarship Navigator, and I specialize in teaching students and families how to strategically find, apply for, and win college scholarships. During high school, I realized that if I didn’t figure out a way to pay for college, I’d have some hefty student loans and crippling debt straight out of college. I was determined to find a better way to fund my college education.
I set to work, applying for a variety of scholarships while figuring out winning techniques and methods through trial and error. I ultimately earned over $150,000 in scholarships, and didn’t spend a dime of my own money (or my parents’) on college bills. If I can cover college costs and graduate debt-free, you can too.
After years of perfecting my methods, I’m finally sharing the step-by-step process I used to earn enough scholarships to get college FULLY paid for. You don’t need to start from the ground up. Through 1:1 coaching or a workshop with your school or group, I’m here to help!
“Ryan’s enthusiasm, passion, and experience are invaluable tools to helping motivate your student and family to learn to find and win scholarships.”

Testimonials
"Ryan makes this complicated and elusive journey easy. It's not only her knowledge and credibility, but her communication skills are off the charts. She breaks it down to a step by step process, her explanations are clear, and she listens to and answers all my questions patiently and thoroughly. At first, it was overwhelming, but with Ryan's guidance and direction, my daughter applied for her first scholarship. We weren't sure what would happen, but she won! We were so amazed! We had the backing, the knowledge, and the resources of Ryan. Now we're excited to continue this amazing journey with Ryan. Because of her, we are able to pursue the dream of possibly coming out from college debt free!"

"Another parent referred me to Ryan and I am so glad she did. I knew we needed help navigating the seemingly indecipherable world of scholarships, so I was excited after our first intro meeting. Ryan lays out her approach, what to expect at each meeting, what is required of the student, and has very specific reasons/examples for what she advises based on real world experience. Ryan is upbeat and encouraging. Ryan is a great communicator and was conscientious about checking in during a meeting to see if we had any questions. Unfortunately, we didn’t connect with Ryan until the summer after my son’s senior year. He is taking a gap year, so there is opportunity for some scholarships prior to his first year at college. I only wish we had engaged Ryan earlier."

"There are no words to express the innumerable ways that Ryan Kelly Murphy can help you see paying for school as a fun and rewarding journey. Her sessions are packed full of useful information that show you exactly how to pan through the numerous fake scholarships and find real ones: pure gold. Not only will her tutelage instruct you in how to find scholarships, she will also walk you through the steps of building your resume, applying for scholarships, and even writing your essays! There is no better resource than Ryan because she will provide you with all of the skills you need and access to the resources that she has created herself. Ryan is someone who goes in the trenches with you, journeys alongside you, and instructs you to avoid the pitfalls that often trap students. The question is when will you take it upon yourself to invest in your future, invest in your education, and attend the college of your choice all expenses paid. The choice is up to you."
Lillian
High School Senior
"When my family first met Ryan, she was the Nation's Top Speaker for our national speech and debate league. She has a heart to serve and has taken her talents, used them to win scholarships with phenomenal success, and is now reaching out to help others. There is no better person who can do this. She personally has achieved more than $150,000 in scholarships, paying off her ALL college through that (including, books, housing, food, and other incidentals), coming out with NO DEBT. I want the same for my kids, so we enlisted her help, and have already seen success!"

"Prepare to be impressed. Ryan Murphy is truly an impressive young lady who put herself through 4 years of private college by capitalizing on scholarship opportunities. Thankfully, she is willing to share how she accomplished this with others. Working with Ryan is a pleasure. She is an uplifting person; a terrific role model and an inspiration. I was so pleased when she agreed to come along side my grandson as he approached his Junior year in high school. She has coached, mentored and advised him as he proceeds to ready himself for college. She is encouraging and supportive and relates to him in ways mom, dad and grandma can’t. She talks to him as a peer with insight from recent experience. Ryan is helping him develop his interests; showing him how he might work them to his benefit and the benefit of others, demonstrating leadership qualities…just what scholarship committees are seeking."
